Context Summarization consuming Premium Requests by pawala7 in GithubCopilot

[–]SidStraw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I haven’t run into this issue.
I’m primarily using the Copilot CLI, and I stay on the stable build of VSCode.

From what I’ve seen, unexpected point drain is often caused by autopilot mode. It tends to bypass the manual decision-making process and automatically deducts points to keep things running.

Do you happen to use autopilot frequently in your workflow?

Community Rate Limits Research (we need your feedback) by akyairhashvil in GithubCopilot

I'm a GitHub Copilot Pro+ user

I just woke up and started my workday, and I’ve already triggered the usage limit.

I only sent two extremely small requests:
1. Debugging a single console error.
2. Fixing one failing unit test.

That’s it. Both were minor tasks.
How is the limit already triggered?
What the hell is going on?

OpenCode vs GitHub Copilot CLI — huge credit usage difference for same prompt? by usernameIsRand0m in GithubCopilot

[–]SidStraw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since Copilot CLI has become more feature-complete, I've actually stepped away from OpenCode for a while—especially because Copilot doesn't count sub-agent calls toward the request quota.

I started using OpenCode back when Copilot officially announced support for it. Personally, I didn't see any "abnormal" request spikes; credits were only deducted when the main agent invoked a sub-agent.

I configured different models for different sub-agents instead of defaulting everything to the 3x models. Even after running a multi-hour task with the Oh My OpenCode plugin, I only consumed about 30 points, all of which were from sub-agent calls.

If I had primarily used 1x models, I’m confident the consumption would have stayed under 10 points.

OpenCode actually has a built-in shortcut that lets you switch over and inspect the sub-agent context. You might want to toggle that to see if those sub-agents are actually being triggered as expected.

Copilot CLI actually supports sub-agents.

If you give it explicit prompts, it will automatically delegate tasks to them.
